Abstract
The paper shows that currently the New York City Emergency Plan is solid and has been tested and re-tested many times over. The World Trade Tower bombing of September, 11, 2002 put the plan to the ultimate test. The paper discusses that, overall, the emergency plan worked very well, considering the size and scope of the emergency. However, it also brought out some areas in need of improvement. The paper shows that the key issues which need to be addressed are the need for secondary and tertiary backup plans for the command control center and hospital scheme. Also, it shows that it has become painstakingly clear, that even though the plan is in place, when the actual emergency occurred, police officers and other key authority figures did not know where to tell the public where to go or what to do. The paper discusses the potential disasters N.Y.C. might face and the steps taken to plan for them.
From the Paper
"The theme of the program will be a simple question, ?What would you do?? This question will be followed by a scenario involving a disaster. All ads will be designed to spark thoughts of the possibility of the occurrence suggested and evoke thoughts of what they would do if the same disaster struck right now. Information on certain disasters, such as hurricane and storm safety, fire safety, and other safety issues will be an integral part of this program. The ads are not supposed to invoke panic, but rather to alleviate it. Panic occurs when there is a lack of a plan of action. This advertising campaign is aimed at getting people to develop plans, where-ever they happen to be. People who have a plan do not panic as easily and will respond in a more efficient manner to unexpected events."

Abstract
The writer of this paper presents a report as the hypothetical Director of Emergency Services for New York City. The supposed aim of the report is for it to be presented to the legislature, supporting a request for funding to upgrade the local emergency plan. The paper begins with an outline of the function of an emergency planning office, within the context of the emergency operations during 9/11. It then looks at the purpose of an emergency plan for the future. It explains the directives and guidelines contained in the proposed plan and elucidates its three-step implementation program. The paper concludes with important considerations for the proposed plan?s success.
From the Paper
"Before one can fully understand the need for a new emergency management plan one must have a grasp on what an emergency planning office does. An emergency planning office is charged with the responsibility of preparing for emergencies as well as acting once they occur. Emergencies can be caused by many factors including natural disasters, chemical spills and other emergencies that arise(Federal Emergency Management Association http://www.fema.gov/)."

Abstract
This paper illustrates the issues of large urban port cities as seen in Dublin and New York City. The paper provides an in-depth history of each city and compares the social issues of the urban environment, ethnic diversity, poverty and crime.
From the Paper
"New York City is generally considered the doorway to America. It is the largest city in the nation, seven million strong, and a main hub of financial activity. This is probably the most racially and ethnically diverse of the large American cities, the epitome of the melting pot. A third of the population is of African descent, fifteen percent are Jewish, twelve percent Hispanic. Other ethnic populations have a vocal presence, including the Irish, Italian, Chinese, Korean, Indian, and other Asians. If one city has represent urban America over the last 200 years, it would be the harbor city of New York, New York.
" Across the Atlantic ocean lies another city, a little farther from the ocean, though not much. It is the ?fair city? of Dublin, that capitol of the Republic of Ireland. This is a fairly heterogeneous city, for it is the center of 4,000 year old struggle for cultural sanctity and independence. The vast majority of the citizens are Irish or British nationals, Christian and white. Most are Roman Catholic, and the largest ?minority? are the British Protestants. One fourth of the citizens of Ireland, approximately 900,000 souls all told, now live in Dublin and its suburbs, and its name is becoming synonymous with Irish culture and tradition."

The Homeless Problem in New York City, 2004.

Abstract
This paper reports that, in 2004, New York City set a record when the number of homeless New Yorkers residing in shelters reached the highest point in the city?s history. The author points out that 90 percent of homeless New Yorkers are black or Latino, even though only 53 percent of New York City?s total population is black or Latino; moreover, over 60 percent of homeless families previously lived in four of New York City?s poorest neighborhoods, and over half of the homeless mothers have a history of domestic violence. This paper concludes that it will take years of dedication and focus for New York City to ease the problem of homelessness by creating not only adequate permanent housing for the homeless, which actually will cost less than the present shelter and other emergency care programs, but also available services for those suffering from mental illness and substance abuse.
From the Paper
"According to the Coalition for the Homeless, in the month of August 2004, some 36,400 homeless men, women, and children were sleeping each night in the New York City shelter system, including 15,300 children, 12,700 adult family members, and 8,400 single adults, with many thousands more sleeping on city streets, park benches, and subway trains. New York City?s homeless shelter population has increased by 73 percent since 1998, from 21,000 to the current 36,400. The past six years has seen the number of homeless families sleeping in New York City shelters and welfare hotels increase by 99 percent, from 4,429 families in January 1998 to 8,726 families in August 2004. Moreover, the average stay for homeless families in the municipal shelter system has almost doubled over the past decade, from six months in 1992, to nearly twelve months today."

Abstract
This paper explains that, when Giuliani became mayor, New York was a crime ridden, welfare city, an undesirable place to live and especially to visit; however, by the time, he finished his second term, New York City was a very different place. The author points out that, to build the tourism industry, Giuliani changed the bureaucratic New York City Travel and Visitors Bureau to the marketing organization, NYC & Company, which knew how to target an audience and highlight the city's most sellable asset; its unique diversity found nowhere else. The paper stresses that the way Mayor Giuliani responded to the World Trade Towers bombing not only proves that a city can recover from such an incident but also even the travel and tourism industry can come back bigger and better.
Table of Contents:
Introduction
Biographical Sketch of Rudy Giuliani
Rudy Giuliani: Crime Fighter and Reformer
The Rebirth of New York City Travel and Tourism
The World Trade Tower Bombings and New York City's Rebound
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Giuliani focused on the private economy as a driver of opportunity. He urged New Yorkers to take responsibility for their lives and for their well-being. He felt that the state should provide basic services, but that is all. The opportunities for prosperity rest on the shoulders of the people, not the state, according to Giuliani. This attitude shifted responsibility to the private citizens. It helped to instill a sense of pride and self-determination. This was the key factor in the ability to turn around the ailing city."

Abstract
This paper explains that the New York City water system delivers drinking water to more than 8 million city residents plus 1 million consumers in other counties and then returns the used water into the New York's extensive wastewater treatment system. The author points out that the Metropolitan Sewerage commission was created in 1904 after the discovery of the link between waterborne bacteria and human disease. The paper relates that one of the leading challenges and causes of wastewater collection system blockages is FOG---fats, oil and grease. The author relates that solutions counteracting FOG are large monetary penalties requiring the polluter to appear in court every time a fine is issued, helping businesses comply with regulations and installing grease interceptors. The paper includes a figure.

History and Overview of New York City's Wastewater Treatment System
FOG: A Primary Challenge to New York City's Wastewater Treatment System Faces
Solutions to FOG
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Grease interceptors are used to prevent FOG materials from entering and clogging the sewer lines. All City business that dispose of grease, fats or oil should have a grease interceptor installed, including: restaurants, hospitals, day cares, senior centers, nursing homes, and other food handling operations. The interceptor works by separating the grease and oils from the wastewater. FOG laden wastewater enters the interceptor and passes through a vented flow control fitting that regulates the flow of the wastewater."

New York City and the 2012 Summer Olympics, 2002.
This paper is a persuasive essay about the benefits of the possibility of New York City being selected as the site for the 2012 Summer Olympics.
1,220 words (approx. 4.9 pages), 0 sources, $ 41.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper argues that although there is no guarantee that New York City will be chosen to host the Olympics;the world community is very sympathetic to what happened to New York in 2001, and New York may well be chosen to host this event. The author believes that the positive energy, financial gains and overall improvements to the city will outweigh the negative effects on life in an already-congested city and the risk of another terrorist attack. The paper concludes that the most compelling reason for hosting the Summer 2012 Olympics in New York City may be its capacity to help heal a city that has suffered such a devastating blow as 9/11.
From the Paper
"While the Summer Olympics will only last three weeks, many permanent benefits will come to the city. The city?s public transportation system will be upgraded, made more attractive and possibly expanded. New York City has one of the most efficient public transportation systems in the world, but currently looks worn and tired. Trains and stations will be cleaned, and other cosmetic improvements such as better lighting will benefit New Yorkers long after the Olympics are over."

"Following World War II, the Tammany Hall political machine began to lose the nearly overwhelming power that it had once enjoyed. The emergence of Jewish and Italian populations challenged the old Irish dominance. Changes in the loyalties of Jewish and Irish voters brought new political figures to the forefront. Political parties such as the Liberal Party (primarily Jewish) began to exercise influence in elections."

In this new wave of immigrants, Colombians constituted half of the immigrants coming from South America. Within that period, 25,800 Colombian immigrants immigrated to the region of New York City and New Jersey (Kraly, 1987, pp. 57-9)."

Outline:
Research Problem
Rationale for Study
Study benefits
Literature Review
From the Paper
"Homelessness has been described as a chronic illness affecting all societies regardless of the degree of economic development and overall wealth of the nation. It is pandemic and epidemic in some societies. Some researchers have attributed the cause of homelessness to a series of factors that work to create homelessness from three dimensions: 1) structural or the broader societal problems that may contribute to homelessness such as high unemployment, inflation, or tight housing markets, 2) individual problems that might lead an individual to become homeless such as mental illness, substance abuse, or some type of disability, and 3) governmental policies that may contribute or actually facilitate homelessness through short-sighted un insensitive planning such as a failure to provide emergency relief funds or some other type of social safety net (Burt pars.2-3). Simply being knowledgeable of these causal factors greatly assists both the broader political apparatus as well as governments at the community level to effectively plan and mitigate homelessness to varying degrees. Therefore, this study attempts to assess the specific character of homelessness in a single market, New York City, in order to better define solutions to solve the problems that lead to homelessness specific to New York City."

From the Paper
"In order to combat the major problem of ?rowdyism? at fire scenes, and to prevent persons who were not firemen from entering the fire lines, in 1855 the Common Council designed a badge to be conspicuously displayed by every fireman while on duty. The firemen were then required by law to wear their badges. Each badge was made of metal and bore a number to be kept in the fire department?s records as a means of identifying owner (Journal)."

Abstract
As America developed in the nineteenth century, large cities sprang up across the nation. In particular, by the twentieth century with the help of an influx of immigration, New York City had become a bustling city with well over one million people. Opinions on the quality of city life were mixed, especially among artists. This paper refutes the arguments put forth by cultural historian, Alan Trachtenberg, in his book "Reading American Art", that artists, specifically photographers like Alfred Stieglitz, manipulated their art to convey their individual feelings toward the big city. The paper argues that Trachtenberg unfairly groups all artists that presented urban imagery into the same category. The photography Trachtenberg refers to differs substantially from other photographers and painters that portrayed city life. The paper includes several reproductions of photographs and paintings.
From the Paper
"However, most often, the Ashcan artists focused on the city as a collection of individual ?microneighborhoods?4 rather than a larger entity. This differs again from Trachtenberg?s assertion that the city is most often depicted as picturesque. Again, by inserting people into the picture, the picturesque nature is lost. In comparing Sloan?s A Woman?s Work to Hine?s Playground in a Tenement Alley there are parallels that can be drawn. Both show low class tenements with their laundry hanging out to dry over an alley. Sloan?s painting portrays the house work that women must do and suggests that the woman is the one who keeps the house in order. Hine?s photo proposes that while the children live in a run down rookery tenement, they are quite satisfied playing baseball."

From the Paper
"This paper will compare and contrast the development of the metropolitan areas of New York City with the development of the urban areas in Los Angeles County. The first part of this paper will describe the development of land use in New York. The second part of this paper will discuss the development of land use in Los Angeles. The paper will also explore urban planning in both cities and compare the problems which resulted from a lack of urban planning.
In the decade between 1880 and 1890, New York City became a highly industrialized center. Even before the last turn of the century, the railroad companies and the growing number of East Coast mills who shipped things in and out of the city helped New York City turn into one of the first American "company towns."1 But the industrial revolution also brought with it pollution, ...
